Guys, it was just a bit of tongue in cheek post. Every one knows that different games are better played on different platforms.

Actually i disagree. You can dominate FPS games with keyboard and mouse, and can dominate sports games, certain games like SF:IV with a controller and dominate racing games with a controller or a driving wheel. Only console a PC can't compete with is the Wii, but i get the feeling in a few more years PC will be having motion sensitive controllers.

Well what i'm trying to point out is that due to the compatibility of the PC, a PC gamer can dominate almost every game out there.

Lol, they finally got it that gamepad cannot be ever as precise as keyboard+mouse. You can be good with it but mouse is just mouse. It's like trying to play a fast FPS game with a trackball. It just wor't work that well...

It's just explaining how the platform could not exsist with two totally different contol schemes, how in anyway does that indicate PC gamers are better?, because HP says so?. Yes the majority of FPS games feel better on a PC, wheres the mystery?. Consoles still play certain games better then PC does and vice versa, that's the way of the world. Then again it still depends on the person, there's no definitive answer to whats better and whats not. Just because one is faster at aiming doesn't mean that platform is best.. you may have the upper hand, but that doesn't indicate that you all of a sudden own everyone in game.

LOL, when its on a level playing field, skill comes into play. What youve basically said is, if your a PC gamer, you can beat anyone. So some random guy playing Street Fighter IV on his PC, using a joystick, could beat a world class SFIV champion (also using a joystick).....he could, but its HIGHLY unlikely, because the individuals skill makes all the difference.

Lets just put it this way,the way they market console for "casual" gamers is actually they want to lure hardcore gamers aswell how else do you always see millions playing same game over and over again I.E COD:MW2 on Ps3 and 360,you get these people play for several hours non stop.
Fighting Games is always best played in a arcade,specially Street Fighter.

Sorry about that. Thats not exactly how i wanted it to sound like lol. All i'm saying is that a good player with skill can easily play any game of any genre well on the PC since it supports KB+mouse, controller etc etc.. And ofcourse im not an idiot lol. A world class SFIV champion will pawn that noob.

What he meant is that the PC can't be the limiting factor in most, if not all, games genres, so if you have enough skill, you can dominate, but the other way around isn't true, consoles have limitations in RPGs FPSs and RTSs, the link in the OP is an example of that! Seeing how xbox 360 peripherals work flawlessly on the PC (controllers, wheel) I may even go forward and guess that MS kinect (Natal) will be supported on PCs in the future, as soon as a supporting game is released, bringing a whole new era to PC g!

I've also seen a fair few pc games badly ported from the console version, yet they do not support any kind of game pad

Example? Oh never mind, all top shelf PC games support the 360 controller, and most of them are optimized for it in a way that hints and menus refer to the X,Y,A,B... buttons , and when the wired OEM version can be found for $25, which works PnP with no additional cost of a wireless receiver... well you get the idea!

Is that your setup in you sig? How the hell could a 360 gamer stand a chance to a setup like that? You'd probably see them before they knew you were around.

It is my rig, I'm a PC gamer through and through, I enjoy PC hardware as much as, or more than lately, games ! I never owned a console, but i tried the PS3 of my friend, and it's nothing compared to my old 8800GT-E6750 rig!! Its only strength is the exclusive titles it has.

I absolutly love hardware and gaming to, but saying that your only experiance with a console was at your friends house shouldn't be the decider in whether ot not you enjoy consoles. The point of consoles are games, saying you dislike most of the games on there is legitimate though.

I know a guy who plays his games with a trackball. He does a good job and says that it's more accurate than a mouse since it won't ever stick during small movements.
